Double Eagle Gold Coins

Question by carla: What is a 1892 gold coin (double eagle) worth?
I have a 1892 gold coin and i want to know how much it is worth. it has been circulated however is in good condition.

Best answer:

Answer by liberty 911
The coin may have a mint mark below the eagle's tail feathers: S (San Francisco), CC (Carson City), or plain (Philadelphia). If you have an authentic coin, it would be worth over 00 even if it is circulated. I recommend getting it certified by one of the major coin grading services (i.e.: PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.). The gold would be worth 0 or so. I hope that helps.

I have a 1914 D 2 1/2 gold Indian Eagle coin and on the back side of the coin there is a small black circle that appears to be stamped on the coin. The tiny circle is in front of the eagles chest. It is black around the circle and circles the word E Pluribus Unum and there is no ink in the middle. Does anyone know what that spot is? Thanks!

Question by Swieft: Selling price on a 1904 Gold Liberty Double Eagle MS61 NGC?
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to sell a few coins for my dad to help with the bills, and I've checked a few websites, but I figured I would hand the question over to the Yahoo community.

What kind of price can I sell this coin for?

Where is a good place to sell it?

Here are some pictures of the exact same coin on the front, but without the case I have.

Answer by Al in NC
NumisMedia FMV Price Guide (the official price guide of NGC)
list the value of the 1904 Liberty Head , MS-61 at ,650.00
Note: Value based on recent market transactions.

A Guide Book Of United States Coins, 61st edition, 2008 list the following grades:
MS-60 = 0.00
MS-63 = ,200.00

I have a question - Did you remove the coin from a NGC sealed holder? If so, WHY?

Question by tigerhuy: Why does a 1 oz silver American eagle coin appear larger than a 1 oz gold American eagle?
Is the gold a more dense metal? Or is is simply an optical illusion and the thickness is actually greater on the gold coin?

Best answer:

Answer by Ben P
Yes, gold weighs more than silver. 1 oz. of silver would be bigger.

Question by Hellion: Value and rarity of 1926 St. Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin?
My wife's grandfather gave us a golden coin as a wedding gift a couple of years back. The wedding was in Poland and the story is that the grandfather bought the coin years ago under communism through the black market as an investment. I know nothing about coins but through a little research on the web, think I may have something of significant value. From what I can tell, it is a 1926 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle. Please excuse my ignorance but I will try my best to describe it. It is a very shiney golden and heavy. It has no blemishes or tarnishes that I can see. If you were to look at it with a very scrupulous eye, I guess it has some minor scratches on the flat surfaces but I don't know if they would be considered scratches or not, but its definitely in great to exceptional condition. I'm just wondering the rarity and value of this coin. I wouldn't consider selling it, and would love to have a family heirloom on my hands. Additionally, how should I store it? I just have it wrapped in a paper towel right now, inside a jewellery box. Any information would be appreciated.

As an additional aside, it was very entertaining to bring it back from Poland. I left Poland immediately after the wedding, as my wife stayed an additional 2 weeks. I kept the coin in my wallet, and really set the metal detector off in the Warsaw airport. I took my wallet out, and sent it through the x-ray machine and saw on the screen, it lit up like a giant glowing ball. They let me through security to the gate. Then about 15 mins. later two guards came walking around looking and eventually approached me. They said in broken english, "We need to see your billfold". They pulled coin out and looked at it puzzled. I wasn't sure of the legality or tax consequences of carrying the coin so I said nervously "It's my lucky coin". The guards looked at it, tossed in the air, one made a comment about how heavy it was, literally tossed it about 2 feet to the other guard, who gave it back to me and sent me on my way.

Answer by doctorjetley
Hi,
The first thing is the condition of the coin. Condition scales go from 1 to 70. Most of the early gold coins are in the 63 range. It depends on how many marks are on the coin. When coins are struck, they are thrown into a bag with others. They come into contact with other coins, and get marks called contact marks. The fewer marks, the better the grade. Also, if there is any rub or wear on the coin, that means it was used or circulated which also effects the grade.

Do not clean or polish the coin. Leave it as is. The way you stored it acceptable, but you may want to look into something more permanent. Value also depends on the mint mark. This tells us where the coin was made. The mint mark is located under the date. If nothing is there, it means the coin was made in Philadelphia. If a "D" is present, it was made in Denver, and if an "s" is present, San Francisco.

The minimum value right now would be approximately 00 based only on the gold value. But based on condition and the mint mark, it could be thousands. If you can, post a picture.

Final thought is, try to get a quick appraisal at a coin show or store. Be clear that it is not for sale. I say this because there are counterfeits around.

Question by Gold Coin Dealer: If you were going to buy a Certified 1920 Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS64, would you buy NGC, PCGS,?
Which Cert. Company would you prefer...NGC, PCGS, ICG, ANACS, SEGS, NTC, etc...???

Best answer:

Answer by stretch
I think PCGS and NGC pretty much dominate the scene. In fact they're the only two I've heard of under the new system of coin certification. I know ANACS was around before the new standards were put in place. The first thing I would do with any coin not certified by the two mentioned above would be to have them re-certified. For the very reason that the rating in years past was very subjective and not consistent.
Good luck

Designed in 1907, minted in 1933.
